We have begun discovering the attributes of quadrilaterals in Geometry. Ask your child: What is a quadrilateral? What are some names of quadrilaterals? What do you know about equal sides, parallel sides, adjacent sides? Today we looked at angles in quadrilaterals. Ask what we learned about the angles of a square, a rectangle, a parallelogram, a rhombus, a kite! As a part of Anti-Bullying Week at E.P.S., students created anti-bullying pink t-shirts. Students in 4M created t-shirts with an anti-bullying logo and slogan they created. Congratulations to Keira whose t-shirt design was chosen by the students in our class to be a part of the school-wide contest! Check out our work! Keira's Winning Design!Student will be presenting an article they find in a magazine/newspaper or online that shows a person displaying courage. Information went home today concerning this presentation and is included here below. Remember to practise at home focusing on speaking clearly, with volume, using gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact.
Students are learning how to make meaningful predictions by using the story to help them make their prediction. Ask your child to tell you the difference between an incidental and a meaningful prediction. Students read the story "Mia's Problem" either on their own or with a partner (their choice) and discussed their meaningful prediction. They wrote their predictions to this story and explained what happened in the story to help them make this prediction. Check out some of our predictions!Our Canada Landform Regions Test is coming up on Thursday, Nov. 19! We have discussed many ways to effectively study for this test. Students spent some time in class today studying together. Included below is the test review as well as additional notes they can study from. ![]()
